I'm planning on buying an expensive machine for my woodworking business.

I want to enter the starting amount I need to save followed by the amount I saved, at which point I want the spreadsheet to show the new amount still owing. With that amount at the end of the first line, I want it to begin with that amount on line two. and so on down the page until I reach zero dollars.

Not complicated, but a steady decline in balance based on the amount I enter for the amount saved.
